I wonder why I didn't notice the negative camber with the stock Potenzas...do you think it is mostly due to the wider tires that makes it more apparent?

I keep feeling that the left has more negative camber than the right for some reason...it bothers me but I trust that all is normal and that I'm just being paranoid.

i have the exact same tire setup at you, does your car handle any differently than the stock tire sizes, mines feels a lot less tighter on the freeway

This is weird for a stock height tire replacement. I used to have 265 PS2s and then 255 Falken 452s on my OEM rear 19"ers... I didn't have negative camber like your car does at all. Just go get an alignment, and that should fix it. Getting a bigger tire shouldn't effect camber like that. If you dropped it, that's another thing...

If you bought your car used or from a private seller, maybe they changed the springs, although your car doesn't really appear to have a drop on it....

wow, that's weird i have 225/40 on the front (stock) and 255/40 on the rear. My tires look way wider than yours. I do have a bit of negative camber but not as much as yours.

I can't decide whether I liked the 245 better or the 255... I'm thinking I should have gone with 275/35 maybe... anyone else got 255 on the rear with stock 19s? just curious to know if you like the setup
